For positive integers $u$ and $v$, let $L_u=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ u & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $R_v=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & v \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$. Let $S_{u,v}$ be the monoid generated by $L_u$ and $R_v$, and $G_{u,v}$ be the group generated…
Cayley hash functions are based on a simple idea of using a pair of (semi)group elements, $A$ and $B$, to hash the 0 and 1 bit, respectively, and then to hash an arbitrary bit string in the natural way, by using multiplication of elements…
The rigidity of a matrix A for target rank r is the minimum number of entries of A that must be changed to ensure that the rank of the altered matrix is at most r. Since its introduction by Valiant (1977), rigidity and similar…
A matching of graph $G$ is maximal if it cannot be expanded by adding any edge to create a larger matching. In this paper, for a hexagonal ring $H$ with $n$ hexagons, we show that the number of maximal matchings of $H$ equals to the trace…
For an $N \times N$ matrix $A$, its rank-$r$ rigidity, denoted $\mathcal{R}_A(r)$, is the minimum number of entries of $A$ that one must change to make its rank become at most $r$. Determining the rigidity of interesting explicit families…
Why does the low dimensionality of representations, typically $d\approx 1000$, not prevent modern embedding-based retrieval models from scaling to billions, or even trillions, of data points? To answer this question, we study maximal-margin…
The lattice of monotone triangles $(\mathfrak{M}_n,\le)$ ordered by entry-wise comparisons is studied. Let $\tau_{\min}$ denote the unique minimal element in this lattice, and $\tau_{\max}$ the unique maximum. The number of $r$-tuples of…
The graph parameter treedepth is minor-monotone; hence, the class of graphs with treedepth at most $k$ is minor-closed. By the Graph Minor Theorem, such a class is characterized by a finite set of forbidden minors. A conjecture of…
It is well known that any polycyclic group, and hence any finitely generated nilpotent group, can be embedded into $GL_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$ for an appropriate $n\in \mathbb{N}$; that is, each element in the group has a unique matrix…
A long line of research on fixed parameter tractability of integer programming culminated with showing that integer programs with n variables and a constraint matrix with dual tree-depth d and largest entry D are solvable in time…
For any matrix A in R^(m x n) of rank \rho, we present a probability distribution over the entries of A (the element-wise leverage scores of equation (2)) that reveals the most influential entries in the matrix. From a theoretical…
We describe several algorithms for matrix completion and matrix approximation when only some of its entries are known. The approximation constraint can be any whose approximated solution is known for the full matrix. For low rank…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, and let $S=\mathbb{K}[X_1, ..., X_n]$ be the polynomial ring. Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $S$ with up to 5 generators. In this paper, we present a computational experiment which allows us to prove that…
A Matching Vector (MV) family modulo $m$ is a pair of ordered lists $U=(u_1,...,u_t)$ and $V=(v_1,...,v_t)$ where $u_i,v_j \in \mathbb{Z}_m^n$ with the following inner product pattern: for any $i$, $< u_i,v_i>=0$, and for any $i \ne j$, $<…
We thoroughly study a novel but basic combinatorial matrix completion problem: Given a binary incomplete matrix, fill in the missing entries so that every pair of rows in the resulting matrix has a Hamming distance within a specified range.…
We describe and count the maximal subsemigroups of many well-known monoids of transformations and monoids of partitions. More precisely, we find the maximal subsemigroups of the full spectrum of monoids of order- or orientation-preserving…
Matrices are exceptionally useful in various fields of study as they provide a convenient framework to organize and manipulate data in a structured manner. However, modern matrices can involve billions of elements, making their storage and…
In this paper we count set closure systems (also known as Moore families) for the case when all single element sets are closed. In particular, we give the numbers of such strict (empty set included) and non-strict families for the base set…
The Calkin-Wilf tree is an infinite binary tree whose vertices are the positive rational numbers. Each such number occurs in the tree exactly once and in the form $a/b$, where are $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. This…
In recent years codes that are not Uniquely Decipherable (UD) are been studied partitioning them in classes that localize the ambiguities of the code. A natural question is how we can extend the notion of maximality to codes that are not…
